LEGISLATIVE PALACE OF SAN LAZARO, 2007.
The Green deputy Jorge Emilio González Martinez, when warning of the danger of introducing exotic
species, not just for the normal development of the ecosystems but also for its existence, presented an
Initiative for legal reforms.
The legislator reiterated that the introduction of exotic species in Mexico is considered as one of the greater threats than undergoes the biological diversity, and assured that their introduction, intentional or accidental, can cause serious damages to the terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems, causing ecological imbalances between the wild populations. In addition, it changes the composition of species and the trófica structure and proliferation of a great variety of agricultural and forest plagues.
During his speech, the Green deputy emphasized the magnitude of this problem taken into consideration
that when an exotic species has settled down, its eradication is practically impossible, which translates into irreversible damages for the affected ecosystems.
The legislators of the PVEM, referred González Martinez, “considered urgent to put in place a policy that incorporates preventive actions”. In this sense, he added, the members of the Parliamentary Group of the Ecological Green Party of Mexico, " propose to create operative and efficient models and to institute programmatic and legislative measures, that allow an integral vision and a series of correlated dispositions to solve the problematic that the introduction of exotic species are generating on the ecosystems”.
